The third Milestone book I've read lately, and the very high quality is consistent. Excellent storytelling throughout. RIP John Paul Leon.

I was one of many kids whose first introduction to Static was the early 2000s WB tv series. Very glad to find several Static comics available in my Hoopla app! RIP Dwayne McDuffie, and thank you for giving us this fantastic character.

I was so glad to have these show up on the DC app. I feel like I've read this character in reverse order, so it was finally nice to read the originals. I'm on bored for more. I really liked how we were dropped right into the action, then filled in the origin in flashbacks.

[Comics Canon Review]
Even though Static has had a more successful afterlife than the rest of the original Milestone Media lineup from 1993 (Hardware, Icon, and Blood Syndicate), Static is my least favorite of the four books. Where the other three books dig deeply into longstanding conceits of superhero comics, Static is a much more straightforward book about a Peter Parker-like, dorky, smart-ass teen with superpowers.
The art is incredible and fits with the style and aesthetic of Milestone’s other launch titles, and the characters are all wonderfully likable (Virgil was clearly a model for Kamala Khan). Static is also the easiest of Milestone’s books to find for sale, and for many folks, it may be the only option. As good as the first volume of Static is, DC owes it to the world to reprint trade volumes of the entire run of Milestone books.
